Indoor Plants

Since the weather is rapidly getting colder, I am wondering what I am going to do with all my succulents.

They can’t really fend for themselves under 3 feet of snow this winter. So I was thinking about some kind of table near my window, so they can still get a little bit of light. I am loving the pictures below… I might need to go thrifting sometime soon to get a hold of a cool table.

Sea Creatures.

Menagerie of sea creatures.


So I totally could have set them up all cute and actually made it look like I tried to take a good picture, but instead you get to see them lying on a dishtowel on my kitchen floor, because that room gets the best (only) light. No other rooms (sans bathroom) have overhead lighting (annoying) and so we only have a few lamps casting dim shadows around the other rooms, and since I get home after dark, ta-da. A crappy photo for your enjoyment!

In other news, I will definitely be taking requests for those Christmas presents you KNOW you want for your loved ones. I mean requests of a knit/crochet kind. If you’ve got a specific idea, email me, lemme know, we can work something out. (Regular sized animals/fish/sea creatures/lamb/elephant/turtle/whatevs! I am selling for $10, smaller ones for $7, plus $2 for shipping, if you’re out of the area, or you can just get them from me next time I am in town, if you are a Tacomaite)

Ok. Off to knit a whale.

More fish in the sea

I made a few more fish.

This guys is really tiny. He’s a little mud fish.

And another regular sized one.

His top fin is kind of big and floppy.

He’s a Waldo fish, I guess.

And just for comparison, so you can see how tiny the mudfish is.


Carrot Top

Ok, question. I always end up with all these carrot tops… I am getting conflicting information online. Some say they’re poisonous, but others post recipes of what to make with them! Have any of you ever used carrot tops for anything?

Other than that, I got a good haul at the Farmers Market today. Tons of good fall things.. lots of gourds, pumpkins, apple cider, mmm. I could have spent our monthly allotment for food there this morning…

(R to L: , braided loaf, Butterhead lettuce, green beans, gourds, carrots, apples.)

Check out that gourd in the back left. It’s the craziest gourd I’ve ever seen. I love it!

More iPod Cases

They’re just so fun I can’t stop making them. They take so little time to complete that it’s almost ridiculous. (I cranked out 2 tonight while watching Project Runway) and they’re so fun. I can’t believe I’m actually making money on something I’m knitting!

I swear I am done showing them to you… maybe. But keep the orders coming, people, because I am having a great time making these!

iPod Cozies

This may be (maybe not?) my last post about iPod cozies. I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to be taking orders for them, if anyone is interested! If you have a specific color in mind, (or two, or three!) let me know and I will do my best to incorporate whatever color you’d like! And if you do want one, just let me know and then email me your address and I will get to work and send it to you once completed.

I know I’ve put up several pictures already, but here are a few for reference.

If you are local, the cost is $5, if you are out of the area I will make it and mail it to you for $6.

Email me at lexikaye (@) gmail.com for any questions or to place an order!

Starfish

I made a starfish!

I wasn’t thrilled with him, but I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a pattern. Things get… weird.

He’s got a bit of a smirky face, which I wasn’t really going for, but I got 1/2 way done embroidering the smile on, and just decided to leave it!

Christmas Knitting

So, I can’t reveal most of what I’m making these days, because most of them are Christmas presents. I was smart this year and decided to start making my Christmas presents in August.

(Top-secret-Christmas-knitting)

So, if I am not updating as much it is only because I am very busy with things that I can not yet show you. My apologies. But I might be back with more snippits. Because it’s fun to hear your guesses. (And no, that picture above is NOT a scarf. Booya.)

Weekend Visits

My friend Autumn and her husband got to come visit us for a (short) trip out here this weekend, and while they were here we did a little birthday celebration.

Everyone loves a little funfetti.

The Birthday Girl!

It was a very fun visit, but I am sad they had to leave so soon. But we did get a pretty good game of Bocce Ball in, before they left.
